His wife posted the news on his Facebook a little earlier this morning. I know that he will be missed by many on here, especially the foodies.
FMB was one of the first people to really welcome me on here when I first joined and started posting regularly. I never met him in person, but he was one great guy and a fellow grammar Nazi. :-)
I'm sure his wife would appreciate any thoughts or prayers.
RIP, Fire Me Boy!

Yeah. I'm watching for his obituary. If there is a memorial, that's probably what I'll do. [Reply]

Once Dane jogged my memory on his dialysis treatments I did remember FMB speaking about it a few times, but I didn’t realize the time that bought was finite... thought as long as he could get it, it’d keep him up and running
Sure wish he’d said something to us when he posted last week, at least give us a chance to pray up a miracle... some of the guys we’ve lost, like Brock for instance, just have a strange pride that prevents them from opening up about it
Sad day for sure man, I’m raising a toast to him as I type this [Reply]

I didn’t know Brock as gone, but I miss a lot around here [Reply]
